Penang’s cloud seeding delayed for maximum impact


GEORGE TOWN: The cloud seeding operations by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) at the Teluk Bahang Dam and Air Itam Dam here have been rescheduled to early May.

Penang Water Supply Corp (PBAPP) chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan said the main rationale behind this move was to maximise the potential for heavy rain by carrying out cloud seeding operations only when the weather conditions are optimal.
